Educational Q&A
True dharma is expressed through non-violence, mutual cooperation in worldly duties, and attentive service to teachers and elders—social harmony grounded in ethical restraint.
Indra (Śakra) describes the exemplary conduct of people in an ideal moral order: they adhere to dharma, avoid harming each other, work cooperatively, and honor authority and age through service.
